Tomaz Kastrun notices a change to the SQL Server installer:
Machine Learning Services and language extensions is available under Database Engine Services, and if you want to use any of these languages, check this feature. During the installation process, the R, Python or Java will not be installed (nor asked for permissions), but you will install your own runtime after the installation. This will bring you more convenience with the installation of different R/Python/Java runtimes.
Read on to see how you can install and work with languages like R, Python, and Java in SQL Server 2022.
